BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a joint member for floor tiles or wall tiles and a tile attaching method using the joint member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional method of laying floor tiles or wall tiles, cement and an adhesive are mixed with an appropriate amount of water and well stirred to prepare an undercoat mortar. Then, the plasterer applies the primer mortar to the floor or wall evenly and applies vertical and parallel lines to the surface.
After that, the floor tiles or wall tiles can be attached along the vertical or parallel lines. At that time, leave a certain gap in the joint between each floor tile or wall tile in advance, after all wall surfaces have been pasted, rinse the surface roughly, and after the mortar has solidified, finish the joint between tiles. The second work was to apply the cleaning mortar, and the cleaning work was performed again.

However, such a construction method has some drawbacks. That is, since the materials and dimensions of the tiles do not match, the joints are likely to be bent, and an error of unevenness in height between tiles is likely to occur. In addition, the secondary construction in which the mortar is applied again to the joints must be performed, which wastes work time. And there is a big difference in construction quality due to the difference in the plasterer's arm.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks. The object of the present invention is that it can be completed by a single construction, and the tiles are not aligned and the tiles are uneven. The difference can be corrected and a straight and neat finish can be obtained without the unevenness of the joints, as well as the interior wall,
It is intended to provide a tile joint fitting member which can be applied to tiles on both an outdoor wall and a floor surface, and a tile attaching method using the tile joint fitting member.

The above object is to provide an elongated top plate having a width equal to or slightly wider than a desired joint width, and at least one integrally provided longitudinally so as to stand upright on the back side of the top plate. This can be achieved by an elongated joint fitting member characterized by comprising a plurality of elongated leg plates, and a plurality of through holes formed in the leg plates along the longitudinal direction thereof.

It is recommended that the top plate be curved so that it rises in an arch shape on its front side.

The two leg plates are provided so as to oppose each other, and the joint fitting member is formed so that the cross-section perpendicular to the axis has a substantially π shape. In that case, the two leg plates are arched toward the sides opposed to each other. It is recommended to be formed so as to be curved so as to be raised. It is also recommended that the two leg plates are formed by bending both side edges of the top plate, and a gap is formed in the bent portion.

Alternatively, one leg plate is provided in the central portion on the back side of the top plate, and the joint fitting member is formed so that its cross section perpendicular to the axis is substantially T-shaped. In that case, the leg plate is perpendicular to the axis. It is also recommended that the cross section be bent in a wavy shape.

Further, the above-mentioned object can be achieved by the tile adhering method according to the present invention in which joint finishing is performed using the joint fitting member of the present invention as described above. That is, the tile adhering method according to the present invention comprises the following steps (a) to (e): (a) a step of kneading cement, an adhesive and water to produce a mortar; ) Applying the above-mentioned mortar on the floor surface or wall surface to which the tiles should be attached in a substantially uniform thickness, and (c) leaving multiple joints on the surface of the applied mortar with a joint having a substantially constant width. A step of adhering in a lattice shape, (d) a step of pushing the leg plate of the joint fitting member of the present invention into the mortar of the joint before it is dry, and fixing it, and covering the mortar of the joint.

That. In the drawings, 10 is a wall tile or floor tile, 11 is a joint, 2 is a joint fitting member, 21 is a top plate, 211 is a gap, 22 is a leg plate, 22
Reference numeral 1 is a through hole, and 30 is a mortar.

In carrying out the tile adhering method according to the present invention, first, cement, an adhesive and an appropriate amount of water are mixed and sufficiently agitated and kneaded until a required consistency is reached, and an undercoat is prepared. Make a mortar for. After plastering the floor surface or wall surface with this plaster and leveling it flat, put parallel vertical lines and horizontal lines on the surface of the mortar as a guide for attaching tiles. The floor tiles or wall tiles 10 can be attached to the flat surface. At that time, the space of the joint 11 is left in advance between the adjacent tiles and the tiles can be attached.

Next, before the mortar dries, the joint fitting member 2 according to the present invention is pushed into the joint 11 as shown in FIG. 2, so that the mortar forms the floor tile or wall tile 10 and the joint fitting member 2. Make sure you have enough space in between. The length of the joint fitting member 2 is cut and used according to the dimension actually required. In this way, since the joint fitting member 2 covers the joint 11 which is distorted by the uneven tiles, the appearance of the joint 11 is properly linearized, and the joint fitting member is jointed to the joint of the floor surface or the entire wall surface to be constructed. The tile adhering work according to the present invention is completed by lightly washing after inserting 2. In this way, since a beautiful finished state can be obtained by one-time construction, according to the method of the present invention, the processing steps are shortened, the construction quality is improved, and it is applied regardless of the indoor / outdoor wall or floor surface. it can.

The tile attaching method according to the present invention is as follows.
Since the joint fitting member used therefor is inseparably integrated, the structure of the joint fitting member according to the present invention will be described below. The dimensions and shapes of the respective portions of the joint fitting member 2 according to the present invention are appropriately changed according to the dimensions and standards of the floor or wall tile 10 to be attached, but first, for general floors or walls. The joint fitting member used for the tile 10 will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the joint fitting member 2 according to the present invention is formed by integrally forming both the elongated top plate 21 and the leg plate 22, and the top plate 21 is preferably the front side. It is formed in a curved shape so as to rise like an arch, and both side edges thereof are bent to the back side and then bent again to be connected to the elongated leg plate 22. These two leg plates 22
Are curved so as to rise in an arch shape toward the sides facing each other, and a large number of through holes 221 are formed in one row along the longitudinal direction. The main purpose of forming the joint fitting member 2 in such a shape is the mortar 30 and the joint fitting member 2.
This is to increase the bond strength with. At the joint between the top plate 21 and both leg plates 22, there is a gap 21 through which mortar can enter.
1 is provided, and the size of this gap 211 is 1
The quality is set to 0 (the width of the gap 211 needs to be increased in the case of a low-quality tile with jagged edges) and the dimension standard.

FIG. 5 shows a completed state by construction using such a joint fitting member. As shown,
The top plate 21 covers the edges of the floor or wall tile 10 and the joints 11 between them. The leg plate 22 is pushed into the joint 11 by utilizing the space of the gap 211, and the top plate 21 is used for the floor or wall tile 10.
I cover this irregularity by covering the irregular arrangement. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the mortar 30 enters the inside of the through hole 221 to enhance the bonding strength between the joint fitting member 2 and the mortar. In addition, since the top plate 21 covers the edge of the floor or wall tile 10 and forms a small arch-shaped curve, the joint portion has a neat appearance, and the cleaning operation is facilitated.

Next, another embodiment of the joint fitting member of the present invention shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 will be described. The joint fitting member 2 has a strict standard, and has a structure suitable for more accurate attachment of the high-quality floor or wall tile 10. The basic shape is the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiment, except that the top plate 21 is directly connected to both leg plates 22, and the above-mentioned gap 211 is not provided. Since the floor or wall tile 10 in this case is of high quality, as shown in FIG. 7, the joint fitting member 2 is pushed into the joint mortar, and both side edges of the top plate 21 thereof are attached to the end of the tile. A straight joint is formed just by firmly attaching it to the edge. Also in this case, the mortar 30 passes through the through hole 221 and is filled without any gap between the leg plate 22 and the floor tile or the wall tile 10.

8 and 9 show yet another embodiment of the joint fitting member according to the present invention. This joint fitting member 2 is used for applying a relatively low quality floor or wall tile having non-uniform size / standard. The difference from the above-described embodiments is that one leg plate 22 is provided in the center of the top plate 21 and is bent in a waveform in a cross section perpendicular to the axis, and the top plate 21 is sufficiently wider than the joint width. That is, the gap 211 on the back side of the top plate is considerably larger than those in the previous embodiments. By forming the leg plate 22 in a corrugated shape, the joint fitting member 2 can be firmly fixed so as not to come off after the mortar is solidified. Through hole 22 on leg plate 22
1 also firmly joins the joint fitting member 2 and the floor or wall tile 10 via the mortar. In this embodiment, since the gap 211 on the back side of the top plate 21 is relatively large, it is possible to completely cover the uneven portion of the floor tiles or the wall tiles 10 and the parallel edges of the top plate 21. Only the straight lines can be seen, so the overall appearance of the finish is neat.

Although some preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art can easily understand the above description within the scope of the object of the present invention. It embraces all conceivable alternative embodiments.

[0020]
